Globe7 is a VoIP application that lets you make free internet calls from your computer to other computers (with Globe7 also installed) and access cheap international call rates when phoning landlines and mobile (cell) phones. You have to register, download the software and purchase credit. You have to use Moneybookers in order to buy credit or send money to Globe7 through a wire transfer (which does seem a bit long-winded in these days of online purchasing).

Globe7 do boast the world’s lowest call rates, but I’m afraid this is a little bit of an exaggeration, as comparing a call from the UK to Australia (Adelaide) they are beaten marginally on price by 18185.co.uk (although you can only use 18185 if you live in the UK).
